This is not a reissue. This is an original 1959, golden-era Gibson.
I don't play enough anymore to justify keeping this amazing guitar. And it deserves to be played.

Refinished to original sunburst about 20 yrs ago. Some finish checking already on the top.
Original pickups and electronics (replaced switch) sound amazing. Other hardware are not original. Refret.
Has the neck profile you would expect from this era. No breaks or cracks.
Can faintly see an "S" or a "3" in the bass side f-hole from the model stamp ES 330. An FON in treble side f-hole cannot be seen. Likely faded long ago as often happens with these models.
When the switch was replaced, my initials were written under the pickups to positively identify this guitar if ever lost or stolen. I don't have a picture of this, and am not willing to take it apart to get one. But I know it's there.
There are a few marks on back and sides. Some chipping on the edges of the headstock. And at one point it must have been stored with a strap under the body as there is a strap impression on the back finish. None really show up in pics. And mostly add to the patina of guitar which wants to be played.
Comes with epiphone hardshell case. Fits and functions very well.
